Geoffrey Hamilton: Rose, something's wrong. What is it?
Rose: Miss Minchin has taken away my Thursday afternoons.
Geoffrey Hamilton: But why?
Rose: We mustn't be seen together.
Geoffrey Hamilton: Does that mean that I can never see you alone again?
Rose: Of course not, darling. No matter what Miss Minchin says, we'll find a way.
Geoffrey Hamilton: I can't understand the woman! What is she so afraid of? Why shouldn't we see each other?
Rose: Gossip, I suppose. Miss Minchin lives for that school and her ideas of pride and snobbishness.
Geoffrey Hamilton: Fiddlesticks! She's afraid of losing an excellent teacher whom she gets for nothing! I won't stand for it! I'll have a talk with her myself!
Rose: Oh no, darling, you mustn't do that. She'd only discharge us both.
Geoffrey Hamilton: She might not have the chance if things continue to pop in South Africa.
